Through preserving, my grades improved, and I got accepted into a summer research program during which my love for science manifested. The experience brought out my curiosity of life as I sought to understand one small part of it, and it humbled me as I learned just how little I know. Moreover, I enjoyed how I had to integrate basic scientific concepts to understand a complex process in our bodies. Suddenly, all the seemingly mundane material had a purpose.
